Mac
IIcx
Overview
Building on the success of the Mac IIx, the
1989 IIcx offered the same power in a smaller case. This was made
possible by eliminating 3 Nubus slots and using a smaller (90W) power
supply. Although advertised as a 32-bit computer, the Mac IIx ROMS
were "dirty," containing some 24-bit code. Running in 32-bit mode
requires MODE
32 from Connectix.
